Osaka wants to host Japan's first Integrated Resort project. To get there, it needs to demonstrate financial feasibility, long-term prospects and clear-cut regulatory framework. Osaka has passed an ordinance that establishes measures against problem gambling and gambling addiction.
The department will be established by the year's end to fight gambling addiction. It will focus on raising public awareness about gambling and dissipating any stigma about it. The department is part of the ongoing efforts to secure the IR hosting rights. Osaka is bidding to the central government with a bid placed by Orix Corp and MGM Resorts. Nagasaki is also trying to argue its case to central goverment.
We will take initiatives directly for addiction countermeasures.
